MANI, 24 Nov: The Papum Pare district administration will set up libraries in 10 government secondary schools (GSS) of the district, with money from the district administration’s untied fund.

He donated a few books for the library, and urged the panchayat leaders and the school management committee to “help the library grow by contributing books for the library.”
